Next Pokemon Direct to happen 31st August | Nintendo Switch Rumors | NintendoReporters

 The Pokemon Company has potentially revealed the date for the next Pokemon Direct.

## [](#follow-the-logic)Follow the logic

In the Pokemon Sword and Shield debut video the company showed the main character with a shirt with 227 printed on it and that was the date of the Direct, 27th February. In the Pokemon Direct the main character had a shirt with 65 on it which was the date.

Twitter user ActualAero spotted that the Gym Leader Milo sported the numbers 831.

> The 1st [\#PokemonSwordShield](https://twitter.com/hashtag/PokemonSwordShield?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) trailer had the main character with a 227 on his shirt. That Direct happened on 2.27.19. In today's Direct the main character had a 65 & today is 6.5.19. Gym Leader Milo has an 831 on his. Could we get another Pokémon Direct / more news on 8.31.19? 🤔 [pic.twitter.com/6xTM9yk98W](https://t.co/6xTM9yk98W)

Which means that there’s a good possibility that a new Pokemon Direct could happen on 31st August!

As this is speculation of course we are still treating it as a rumor.
